In ELA (English Language Arts) we listened to the the story "Animals in the Park: An ABC Story" and introduced the letters p,b, t, d, f, v, k, g, s, z. We have been using a program called Telian to introduce the letters. These "lively letters" have a short story and song that help the students to remember the sound of the letter and how their mouth forms to produce the sound. So far they LOVE learning the letters. This is an example of the song for the letter p and b.
This week we also introduced our first sight word: I. We discussed how this word is ALWAYS capitalized. I will update the margin on the right hand side of the blog weekly with our sight words so that you can practice these words at home. Sight word cards will be sent home at our Open House so that you can cut them apart and practice them with your K2er.
We also introduced learning centers this week. After our whole group lesson time the students go off to learning centers so that they can practice and apply things taught during the week. Here are some pictures from learning center time this week.
In Math we started on Topic 1 in our math series titled "Numbers 0 to 5." We worked on counting, writing and reading the numbers 1, 2 and 3. We also started counting sets of 4 and 5. Next week we will continue counting and writing 4 and 5 as well. Writing numbers can be frustrating for some students. Any practice you can give your child at home would be helpful. A great tip is to use a highlighter or yellow marker and write numbers (or even letters) on a piece of paper. Your child can then take a pencil and trace the number written. It is a great way to reinforce how to write and what a number or letter looks like.
